Mixed feelings on the last day

Glad that I made it healthy, and even had the energy to exercise!
Glad this year my mum woke up earlier everyday without fail to cook for me
Thankful that my friends and colleagues are being extremely understanding.
Sisters for encouraging and blessing me with gifts.
Lastly, the chance to break fast with his family frequently.

I was on low-key last year with only closer colleagues aware that I was fasting
This year everyone who walked past me during lunch questioned me.
Then I realised there were alot alot of misconceptions about Islam,
some of them think 
"oh, cannot eat but can drink water right"?
"oh how long? 1 week?"
"cannot eat at 7am right?"

during my lunch time I would practice reading the prayers
some of them saw the arabic words.
a very cute colleague asked me why I was learning and if I was going extreme to terrorism.
The answer is simple now, I do everything I do because I believe.
one of my boss also thinks it is a big sacrifice to fast.
I used to think I have made alot of sacrifices for 'Isham...
now I have a totally different stand.
One day I wld be thankful I did what I did because guess who is getting the rewards!
ME ME ME! not anyone else :)

had a mini test during this month.
anw, he apologised so there was really no reason for me not to forgive.
Although I have to say some people will never think they are in the wrong
and can pretend things didn't happen at all.

So there was one morning, I was practicing my prayers...
I had the telekung on, it was hot so I had the fan on, then my room had really limited space
and I had to hold the book cus there were some parts I still can't memorise totally
Intially I thought I had it all memorised - the order etc
but it suddenly felt like you enter the exam hall, you know you studied but your mind just turn blanked!!! anw, I proceeded and struggled.
But thats ok :) practice makes perfect! 

Last yr's focus was getting thru the hunger and thirst all together
glad this year was so much more :)
prayers answered this year :)

May all my deeds this month be accepted :) 

Things happened, I did not forget. I chose to forgive because...
God has biggest mercy for my sins. This world is a test in itself
and I must be forgiving just like how He is ever forgiving to me.
Those people will deserve what they deserve on judgement day.
